RALLIES

Cooper Tire Europe has expanded its involvement in endurance rallying, with its 4x4 products victorious in high-profile events.

Dakar Rally expert, Spaniard Xavier Foj, won the T2 production class of the legendary rally in his Discoverer S/T MAXX-shod Toyota Land Cruiser 150.

Foj and his co-driver Jordi Cervantes tackled 9000km across in Argentina, Chile and Peru in the Dakar. Foj chose one of the toughest off-road tyres that Cooper manufactures: the Discoverer S/T MAXX.

Its compound and large tread area provides superior grip in all conditions while the alternating rib pattern will help with the discharge of loose stones. Cooper’s proven class-leading Armor-Tek3 construction ensures strong durability, by delivering strength to the sidewall and tread area, a winning combination which will no doubt prove more than a match for the specialist compound tyres of their competitors.
